Daycare Centers in the country

It has been a long enduring problem here in the country, for parents, to have hired irresponsible, abusive, and unqualified nannies for their kids. Sometimes, I wish I didn't need one, and think of just taking care of the kids myself. However, I need to earn money to help my family (mother, and siblings) with their needs. So, I need to get some help in taking care of the kids. This is also a common problem with other parents who need to work full time to be able to provide for their family.
In the US, for example, they don't need nannies, because they have daycare centers where they can leave their kids while they work.
I just really hope, our country would start introducing this business and family assistance. I'm sure a lot of parents would benefit from this, since there are standards to follow by the qualified caregivers in these establishments.

You are right, jure. There isn't much Day Care Centers here in our country to left our child at day while we are working.I know a Day Care Center in Ortigas where a child can be left during the day and I have heard that there are lots of it in the US.
It is hard looking for a good nanny. And we don't have a peace of mind when we think that it is only someone who is left with our kid.

If only daycare centers would be more rampant here, then we don't have to worry about getting a nanny from either the province or the agency. For sure this type of service would be a lot more expensive than getting a nanny, but it comes with your peace of mind and satisfaction.

Well, the obvious question is why you don't start one. You see the need, so why don't you fill it? You would both be ensuring that children receive good childcare, and you would be earning money to help your family.
When one so clearly sees a need for something within the community, it is usually a good sign that that is the person who should be doing whatever it is that is needed.

It's not an easy responsibility to shoulder, wilsongoddard. I'b be willing to pay for the service, but not necessarily able to provide it. I'd rather just be the customer than the business owner for this field.

But you know what, you got a good point there about knowing the needs. Right now, there are many preschools around the country. Newly built schools for young children. I was surprised to realize that entrepreneurs were willing to invest in that business and compete with universities and colleges that have been operating for years. However, these new sprouts are thriving.
I hope someday, the daycare business will also grow, so that it won't come out too expensive, if there are only a few establishments competing.

In India day care centres for kids are very common. Here anyone can start a centre. You could perhaps encourage some seniors or anyone around you who are at home to start this. There is help available on the Net on how to go about starting this business.

Now a day all mothers are generally working and for that they need someone who take care of their children. So they hire a nanny for their loved ones.

I live in the US and I don't agree with the fact that we don't need nannies? Yes we do and I have a nanny at home. Its expensive to put my child into the daycare services. In the state where I live, the dycare cost $1400 a month. That doesn't benefit me at all or something I could depend on. Other license nannies cost averaging to 700 dollar a month. I am lucky Coz I paid 400 dollar a month but I pay my sitter phone bill every month.

I know most working parents need help in taking care of their kids. But, not all can afford it. We're even luckier here in the Phils, because nanny services is a lot cheaper than in the US. However, license nannies or those who are from agencies, are not always the better choices. There have been a lot of reported cases against these women, so I never tried those services.
